After arranging the tasks of the communication battalion, Zhong Yi turned back to the lounge and fell asleep.

Speaking of which, half a month before coming to Nanjing, Zhong Yi hadn't slept properly, and since he entered Nanjing City on the night of December 12, Zhong Yi hasn't closed his eyes for four days and nights! With such an intensity of work, even the iron man is estimated to be overwhelmed, not to mention that Zhong Yi is also flesh and blood?

So as soon as his head touched the pillow, Zhong Yi fell asleep in the dark.

In the middle, Xiao Bing came to find it once, originally wanting to discuss with Zhong Yi, what should I do with the broadcast of the Voice of Nanjing next? But seeing Zhong Yi sleeping so soundly, he couldn't bear to wake up.

This night, I slept for almost six hours.

At about 4 o'clock in the morning of the 17th, Zhao Hanxing, who was covered in blood, suddenly broke into the lounge and shook Zhong Yi awake.

Zhong Yi woke up from his sleep, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Hanxing standing in front of him covered in blood, so he couldn't help but be taken aback, and said hurriedly: "Knife, how did you make this ghostly look?" ”

"Knife" is the nickname that Qiu Qingquan just gave to Zhao Hanxing.

The reason for this nickname is because Zhao Hanxing regarded the Sukhiro saber captured from Tanaka Gunyoshi that day as a treasure, and even held it in his arms when he slept at night, eager to merge with the sword.

Qiu Qingquan joked and said, you just turn into a knife.

Then the nickname of the knife quickly spread throughout the regimental headquarters.

When Zhong Yi asked, Zhao Hanxing said miserably: "Tuanzao, the devils outside the Zhonghua Gate have long been on guard, I have rushed at least thirteen times with my brothers, but I didn't rush out, but I lost more than a hundred brothers!" In the last sortie, he was even attacked by the devil's fierce counter-assault, and he almost confessed to being outside the China Gate! ”

"What did you say?" Zhong Yi said awe-inspiringly, "The devil has already taken precautions? ”

"Well, the little devil is indeed on guard." Zhao Hanxing nodded, and said, "The devil's defense on the city gate and the city wall is very loose, I originally thought that the devil's defense outside the city is similar to the city gate, but when I went to the city, I saw it, damn, the devil actually dug a ditch at least four meters wide and two meters deep outside the city!" ”

"Huh?" Zhong Yi's face became more and more gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, "A ditch more than four meters wide and more than two meters deep? ”

At this time, Zhong Yi suddenly remembered that he seemed to have inadvertently ignored a habit of the little devil.

Zhao Hanxing nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "The devil also built the excavated soil on the outer wall of the trench, so the height of the outer wall of the trench is four meters!" Our 1st Guard Company suffered the loss of this outer wall! The devil has a heavy machine gun outside the wall, and we can't rush no matter how we rush it! ”

"Let's go, let's go!" After Zhong Yi finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, Zhao Hanxing wiped the blood on his face, and followed with a clenched saga of Zhuguang.

Zhong Yi asked as he walked, "Is Zhonghua Gate still in our hands?" ”

"In our hands." Zhao Hanxing said, "The devil didn't chase too far. ”

Zhong Yi turned around and went down the stairs, and said again: "Is the injury on your body serious?" ”

"I'm fine." Zhao Hanxing took two steps to follow Zhong Yi and said, "It's not my blood, some are devils, and some are sticky when helping to carry the wounded." ”

Zhong Yi didn't ask any more, just quickened his pace and walked out of the door.

As soon as I went out, I saw Qiu Qingquan and Zhu Liangcheng walking over.

Obviously, Qiu Qingquan and Zhu Liangcheng also knew the news that the guards had been frustrated in the overnight attack.

Seeing that Zhao Hanxing's blood was blood, Qiu Qingquan immediately asked with concern, "Daozi, are you okay?" ”

Zhao Hanxing could only repeat what he had just said again, and Qiu Qingquan was relieved, but then he began to reprimand Zhao Hanxing again: "I said knife, I usually see you being awesome, how can you be strained at a critical moment?" ”

"Senator, you have to speak with your conscience!" Zhao Hanxing's mouth flattened, and he said extremely aggrievedly, "You don't look at what kind of formation the devils of Zhonghua Gate are, can you rely on me?" ”

Qiu Qingquan said blankly: "Is there anything strange about the devils outside the China Gate?" ”

Zhong Yi waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't ask anything, you'll know when you get to the ground." ”

At that moment, the three of them got off the communication building, Zhong Yi asked Niu Dan to find four foreign cars, and then the four of them got on the foreign cars and went straight to Zhonghua Gate along Zhonghua Road.

The four of them pedaled fast, but it still took nearly forty minutes to reach the Zhonghua Gate.

The main reason is that at this time, almost every street in Nanjing was bombed miserably, and Zhonghua Road, as the main street, was even more taken care of by the devil's bombers and artillery, and the road condition was even worse.

Qiu Qingquan even accidentally fell halfway, and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

Forty minutes later, Zhong Yi and the four of them came to the Zhonghua Gate, and as soon as they entered the city tower, their eyes swept outside the city, and the four of them immediately froze in place.

Under the dark sky, but I saw that the devil's camp outside the Zhonghua Gate was brightly lit!

In other words, it is no longer called a camp, but a simple camp!

Before the crossing, Zhong Yi read an article dedicated to the civil work of devils during World War II, and there was a paragraph in the middle that left a very deep impression on Zhong Yi.

This passage says that every time a devil spends the night in a place, he must build fortifications.

If they stay in one place for more than three days, they will inevitably dig a trench more than two meters deep outside the camp, and sometimes pull up barbed wire.

And if the devil is stationed in one place for more than half a month, a small fortress will be built!

Now the devils have been stationed outside the Zhonghua Gate for more than three days, and sure enough, they dug a trench with a depth of more than two meters and a width of more than four meters, and also pulled barbed wire!

These dog-day marmots are really annoying!

On the other side, Qiu Qingquan looked at the devil's fortifications outside the city gate, and he was even more apprehensive!

At this moment, Qiu Qingquan was really a little lucky, glad that Zhong Yi didn't listen to his advice and broke through from Nanjing!

If Zhong Yi listened to his suggestion and broke through from Nanjing, he would definitely hit the devil's blockade ditch, and then he would definitely hit his head in front of the blockade ditch and break the bloodstream, adding many unnecessary casualties.

As for the breakthrough, let's just say that this trench can't break through at all unless you prepare the tools to break through.

Zhu Liangcheng was also dumbfounded: "Look at this posture, the devil's blockade ditch must have been dug for more than three or five days, is it possible that the little devil can still pinch his fingers?" How many days in advance did you know that we were going to have a night raid tonight? ”

"What do you want, Lao Zhu?" Zhong Yi breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Of course the little devils don't pinch their fingers, it's just their habit, every time they go, the devils will repair the fortifications, and it will take more than three days to build to today's scale!" If it takes another ten days and half a month, the devil can build a fortress outside the city! ”

When Qiu Qingquan and Zhu Liangcheng heard this, they immediately fell silent.
